49. Yea, and blessed are the dead that die in the Lord from
henceforth, when the Lord shall come, and old things shall pass
away, and all things become new, they shall rise from the dead and
shall not die after, and shall receive an inheritance before the
Lord, in the holy city.
50. And he that liveth when the Lord shall come, and has kept the
faith, blessed is he; nevertheless it is appointed to him to die at
the age of man.
51. Wherefore, children shall grow up until they become old, old
men shall die; but they shall not sleep in the dust, but they shall
be changed in the twinkling of an eye.
52. Wherefore, for this cause preached the apostles unto the world
the resurrection of the dead.
53. These things are the things that ye must look for, and,
speaking after the manner of the Lord, they are now nigh at hand,
and in a time to come, even in the day of the coming of the Son of
Man.
54. And until that hour there will be foolish virgins among the
wise; and at that hour cometh an entire separation of the righteous
and the wicked; and in that day will I send mine angels to pluck
out the wicked and cast them into unquenchable fire.
55. And now behold, verily I say unto you, I the Lord, am not
pleased with my servant Sidney Rigdon, he exalted himself in his
heart, and received not counsel, but grieved the Spirit;
56. Wherefore his writing is not acceptable unto the Lord, and
he shall make another and if the Lord receive it not, behold he
standeth no longer in the office which I have appointed him.
57. And again, verily I say unto you, those who desire in their
hearts, in meekness, to warn sinners to repentance, let them be
ordained unto this power.
58. For this is a day of warning, and not a day of many words. For
I, the Lord, am not to be mocked in the last days.
59. Behold, I am from above, and my power lieth beneath. I am over
all, and in all, and through all, and search all things, and the
day cometh that all things shall be subject unto me.
60. Behold, I am Alpha and Omega, even Jesus Christ.
{211} 61. Wherefore let all men beware how they take my name in
their lips;
62. For, behold, verily I say, that many there be who are under
this condemnation, who use the name of the Lord, and use it in
vain, having not authority.
63. Wherefore, let the Church repent of their sins, and I, the
Lord, will own them, otherwise they shall be cut off.
64. Remember that that which cometh from above, is sacred, and must
be spoken with care, and by constraint of the Spirit, and in this
there is no condemnation, and ye receive the Spirit through prayer;
wherefore, without this there remaineth condemnation.
65. Let my servants, Joseph Smith, Jun., and Sidney Rigdon, seek
them a home, as they are taught through prayer by the Spirit.
